If the car has a sequential you only use the clutch for the take off, stopping, and to avoid stalling the engine in case of a spin.

oh ok... that explain everything.... sorry to everyone for the waste of time >.< i had misunderstood the it.wiki.
sorry ç____ç

Quote from NightShift :

Ok, you got it all wrong

XFG and XRG do not have ignition cut, they come with a standard manual with no electronics whatsoever. As a rule of thumb everyday road cars do not have true sequentials, though there are other fancy electronic-assisted transmissions which are marketed as such.

OTOH the FBM has a true sequential without ignition cut - you definitely can use autoclutch with it, as it's a simple driving aid that engages/disengages the clutch for you when needed. E.g. you will be able to upshift from neutral to first without doing anything else or stalling the engine. Try turning it off and you'll see for yourself.

If you want to know more about how transmission work IRL, follow this link.

I know what is it XD
i think we are all getting confused because it's difficult for me to find the right translation.

I have tried now what you said: changing the gears from N to 1. it use automatically the clutch, but for all the other gears i can't see the clutch bar on gearshift on the bottom-right side of the screen.
it means that it doesn't use the auto-clutch, yes?
But using the XFG without changing the settings it use automatically the clutch pedal on gearshift. that's the problem that i can't understand.
Why XFG yes and FBM not.

Ok boys calm down.
I was only surprised that with the FBM you are FORCED to NOT use the autoclutch, when with the other cars you can have all the electronics doing everything for you. Low-medium class cars like the XFG and XRG are inspired from does not have the sequential gearshift and all the other things.
Was all that the problem.

So the formula bmw had the pedal clutch. that's a curious news ^ ^"
I supposed it doesn't have.

So why the xrg/xfg have the autoclutch / ignition cut (always talking about simulation)? @.@

Quote from G!NhO :

it has a sequential gearbox

It means that you have the clutch pedal?

Quote from G!NhO :

it IS realistic because the FBM really exsists and it works the same on the real car..............get it?

It doesn't make sense. With my average car if I change with full throttle, I will heat the engine , the clutch and the gearbox.

The formula BMW does not have semi-automatic transmission?

Quote from canovi88 :

online racing simulator..not menu game ^^ hehe

So why we not use cmd instead of menu? XD

Kubica and Vettel =)

Yeah i know i am a demo racer, but i want to see where the game will go in the future. So i want to make a proposal.

If we want new cars and new tracks, we can create official design contests every 6 months/year with a dev that see which is best to develop.
I think it will increase the quality, without have nasty and bugged mods. The devs will make all the code/3D model behind.

Thanks. You can close the topic ^___^" I have to admit that the game is wonderful, but the menu stile lacks a bit of design >.<

Don't kill/burn/ban me, but...
I have seen that people change the menu backgrounds, but i was thinking about change the button shapes,colors and fonts. It is possible? It's something "illegal"?

No filter, no script but a toon material is available within Blender but I've never tried it yet. I know it is possible tough.

Thank you! You are always so kind!

It is possible to find a cell-shading filter for the render? You know... the effect of "Auto Modellista".
Or a python script for it ^___^ I can do a skin in excange

Thanks a lot! I have only some problems with the wheels but i can replace it with better ones =)

Very wonderful renders! Can I ask you a thing? (No renders XD ) Where do you have taken the car models? I have searched them on all the forum but I have found them only in .blender extension @.@

I think that LFS should be something funny to play, nice to see and quite physic-realistic, but it should not seems like a sim for driving schools, with 1 or 2 cars for every class, just to show how it works.

If it is a racing sim, it must take you to a wider choice of "look" for the cars. For example, if you run a championship, you must have (near) the same performances but you can decide the shape of the car you want. If you want a mono-brand challenge, you have only to say "only XXX cars accepted!" .

Quote from chavm481 :

apollo for me! lol thats gonna be fun

I think it will be not only fun, but a great add-on for strategy lovers =) the endurance in suzuka take cover of the night, so you have to save the energy for the last ours, in the morning!

It is possible to use a brand (e.g. "Penzoil") for the team name, something like "Penzoil Drift Team"?
If it's not possible, I can use an invented brand ?

I don't know if this model have already posted... and I'm a demo racer, but I will buy the licence soon. I want to propose electric cars, like the Tesla Roadster.
Don't say that electric cars are not fast / bad performances.
Tesla roadster can make 0-100 Km/h in 3.9 sec.
BTW... with electric cars is possibile to make an endurance championship (e.g. until you end your batteries) or there can be sun-powered cars. In Suzuka every year they make an endurance race O_O

tonight I have made a green/black and a red/black skin for an immaginary team called "Omega", based on the Omega Lubrificant brand.
Changing the text and the colours,you can use it for your team as transitional skin waiting the official =) I can make it for all the cars although I am a demo racer ^___^"
PSD files via PM... they needs the names on the layers @___@

Working time:
23:00 PM - 6:20 AM <--- when the ideas can't make you sleep =)
(Italy GMT +01)

Credits:
"Time Attack", "Time Attack Number Plate", "Re-01 R", "Omega The Ultimate Lubrificant" decals from the A.Gomez Hi-Res Decal pack [in the read me file he says to give credits if 3 or more of his decals were used].

Comment pleaseeeeee!

Hello I'm a demo racer from Italy!
Downloaded & installed 2 days ago, and I'm already making skins far all the cars =)
I arrive from years of Gran Turismo (3, Concept, 4) and I discovered the physics of LFS is completely different @___@ but I'm getting used to it.
I play with the PS2 controller with a USB to PSX adapter. The analog sticks are perfect if you can't afford a driving wheel =)

About me... I am a 19 years old student / web designer / musician and I am really interested in Japan.
Next moth I will buy the S2 licence ^___^

Nice to meet you!

My first skin, based on GUNDAM series. Hope you like it
